Relatives

Tosenbo[1] are enemies in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. These spiked, slug-like creatures appear in the star stage of the Space Zone. Tosenbo inflate and deflate at a regular interval, but are barely visible when they are not inflated. Tosenbo can be defeated only from a Star or a fireball while they are inflated, because Tosenbo cannot be defeated while deflated at all. According to the Shogakukan guide, they may related to Unibo.[2] The Perfect Ban Mario Character Daijiten uses a vertically flipped picture of Tosenbo for its entry.
